For the first time, the Luzhou soldiers and the Khitan soldiers and horses maintained the same offensive and defensive pace, and coordinated the pace of the battle. The orders were given by Zhe Wei Zheng, the newly worshiped general in Yang Hao's army. Zhe Wei Zheng was not an incompetent puppet, although he had his sister-in-law as his adviser behind the scenes.
, but he is indeed the son of a general. As the eldest son of Zhe Wei, he has learned the art of war and strategy since he was a child. He stays with his father and often deals with the intrusions of Xiazhou soldiers and horses. He has considerable experience in defending the city. This time he was given this important task.
I was very excited, and I made careful calculations with my little aunt for a long time, and made preparations with great deliberation, hoping to fight the battle well. I was prepared in my heart, not panic when facing the battle, and the command and dispatch were in good order.
The huge boulders launched intensively by the trebuchets smashed the Yinzhou City Wall into pieces, and the defenders took refuge in the Tibetan Soldier Cave. After the trebuchets stopped firing, they reoccupied the city head. At this time, the Yipin Gong began the second wave of attacks.
, many movable square-shaped spires appeared at the top of the city. They were shelters made of giant wood as bones and cowhide as the surface. The cowhide was both soft and tough. After the arrow was shot at a parabola angle, it could no longer hit anything in the tent.
The hidden soldiers posed a threat, but the soldiers hiding among them were able to observe the movement of the army formation outside the city in time, and then deployed to the meeting point. Zhewei saw it from the watchtower, and immediately ordered the launch of a large number of rockets, poisonous smoke bombs, and missiles.
Stone machines ejected burning pots to destroy the curtains, and the city leaders immediately responded with trebuchets and crossbows.
"Let go of the trampling arrows and prepare to attack the city!"
The flags on the watchtower were flying, rows of crossbows were aimed at the city wall, hammers were knocked on the teeth, short crossbows with thick forearms roared towards the city wall with eardrum-piercing roars, and rows of nails were driven into the thick walls.
Wall, soldiers can use it to climb up when they rush to the city wall.
Teams of soldiers stood behind cowhide curtains, pushing folding bridges equipped with wooden wheels. The trench-filling trucks rushed forward quickly under the cover of arrows. The moat of Yinzhou City had been widened and deepened, but the water flow
Zhe Ziyu sent people to intercept it upstream. Only about a foot of water remained in the moat, and a giant pole with a sharp handle at the top was exposed in the water.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
Although the cutting shaft and the windlass were already oiled, they still made a sour sound when they were turned rapidly. The flying bridge carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen was spread on the water despite the rain of arrows poured down from the city, and then the noose was turned to fold the other half.
The bridge extended forward and rested on the opposite river bank. The ten moat bridges formed a bridge deck fifteen feet wide, turning the entire moat into a flat surface.
"Duk duk duk..." The arrows at the top of the city were replaced by rockets, which no longer shot people but the bridge deck. However, the trench bridge in Yang Hao's army was designed by the skilled craftsmen of Jisitang, and these conventional attacks had been taken into consideration.
Most of them are wrapped in iron sheets, making them difficult to be damaged by arrows. Unless they are roasted by fire, the flames like the ones on the arrows cannot penetrate the bridge deck, making it difficult to function.
"Kill, kill, kill!" A large group of soldiers held up their shields, shouldered their rifles and antlers and ran across the trench bridge.
The crossbowmen stood far away, relying on their superior crossbows to carry out the final suppression on the city. Except for the giant crossbows on the city, even if ordinary bows and arrows could be shot in front of them, it would be difficult to have a killing effect.
, so they had no scruples at all and carried out suppressive attacks wantonly.
The soldiers quickly deployed cavalry and antler formations near the city gate, because during a siege, it would be difficult for the attackers to get close to the city even if they had cavalry, but light cavalry could be sent out at any time in the city and in the urn outside the city gate to kill the siege.
Soldiers, so obstacles should be placed near the city gate to prevent counter-attacks. Due to the suppressive cover of rear crossbows, the defenders on the city did not dare to stand up and shoot arrows at will. The sporadic arrows shot only injured a few
Soldiers, these soldiers arranged obstacles, and a large number of ladders were pushed across the trench bridge.
At this time, the Khitan side had also launched a general offensive. Their soldiers were more experienced in combat than the Luzhou army. However, the crudeness of the siege equipment highlighted their weaknesses. The trench bridge across the moat was narrow and made entirely of wood.
The structure is vulnerable to fire, and the siege tool is only a ladder, and unlike the ladder of the Luzhou soldiers, it has handrails on both sides and a parapet at the top, which can protect the soldiers to the greatest extent.
When the ladder was set up on the city wall, countless hitting poles with lengths of several feet were immediately protruded from the city. Before the ladder could gain a firm footing, many were pushed down by the hitting poles, and crashed to the ground with many soldiers attached to them.
As for the city wall where the Luzhou soldiers mainly attacked, although the Luzhou soldiers and horses were limited, the advanced weapons made their attack more effective. The hook on the top of the ladder hit the wall and firmly clenched the city wall.
, the ramming rod could not knock it open at all, and the siege soldiers did not need to take care of the ladder at all, they could climb at full speed. Many soldiers also used the stilt arrows shot on the city wall to climb up with long knives in their mouths.
As soon as he found that the opponent's ladder could not be knocked open, the city's flag flashed, and many yellow cabinets were suddenly pushed out. Yang Hao stood on the nest car and watched from a distance, and saw a stream of yellow cabinets suddenly spitting out from the front.
Long tongues of flames fell on the ladder and immediately attached themselves to it, burning violently. I couldn't help but be speechless: Who are the people defending the city? Actually... they even have flamethrowers?
This weapon is really like a clumsy flamethrower. It is a weapon for defending the city: the fierce fire oil cabinet. The so-called fierce fire is oil. It was also called fierce fire oil at that time. Those yellow cabinets were made of cooked oil.
It is made of copper, has a spout on it, which can continuously inject oil, and has a blower on the back, which can compress the air. It will corrode everyone inside, cannot be extinguished by water, and is extremely lethal.
When Zhewei saw this from the watchtower, he immediately ordered more than a dozen watchtowers to move towards the enemy's formation. This watchtower was much higher than the city wall. Its main function was for the general to stand in the distance and look down at the city, but he could also place crossbowmen on it.
Purposefully shooting specific groups of people. The dozen or so watchtowers approached, commanding the sky, flying arrows like locusts, specifically shooting at the defenders who operated the fire cabinets. The role of the fire oil cabinets was immediately greatly reduced. The defenders in the city immediately opened their arms.
The flip-top baffles on both sides and above the oil tank were set on fire, and specialized archers were organized to shoot at the soldiers on the watchtower.
Of course, a siege battle is not just a display of strange weapons, nor is it certain to win based on whether these weapons are advanced or not. The final outcome still depends on people. At least in terms of geographical location, the defenders in the city have the upper hand.
Unexpectedly, the defenders and the siege soldiers fought bloody battles around the three city walls. The highest casualty rate in the siege was during this siege.
Yaksha rolled down the city wall, and the countless sharp spikes on it stabbed the siege soldiers' heads and blood flowed. When a Yaksha was thrown down, many soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and the ground was firmly inserted into the wall.
There were many sharp wooden stakes stabbing them, which pierced their intestines and tore them apart.
A wooden donkey cart attacking the city gate was pierced by the iron hitting the wood, and then fire oil was poured down from the top, followed by a torch. Many soldiers were on fire and screamed from the wooden donkey cart's open mouth.
But he ran out from under the protective wings that blocked rolling logs, stones and arrows, and was shot to death by random arrows.
A thick smoke floated over from the upper wind. This was a thick fog composed of the burning grass and the dust produced by the dust trucks. It filled the entire city. Amidst the screams and screams, there were constant coughs. Ten
Yu Ju's lead car quietly approached the bottom of the city wall under the cover of smoke and dust. Regardless of the soldiers falling from the ladders around him and the rocks thrown from the city head that made the roof of the car thump, he began to dig attentively.
typical.
The shovel and pickaxe are used like flying. Those responsible for digging the tunnel are all strong soldiers. Once exhausted, they immediately exchange with the soldiers behind. Baskets of soil are carried out by rows of soldiers. There is a tunnel leading to the guard in the empty shed behind.
The winch of the city moat dumped the soil on the conveyor belt of the winch and poured it straight into the moat to fill the moat.
The clanking sound was insignificant in the noisy battlefield, but Liu Yanlang, who was hiding in a cave two feet deep, could not hear clearly the shouts of death from the outside world, but he could clearly hear the noise coming directly from the underground.
He put his ear to the bottom of the urn, listened carefully to the sounds coming from the soil, and suddenly ran out.
"Dad, tunnels are being dug outside the city. There are two hundred steps, one hundred and sixty steps, one hundred and ten steps, and fifty steps to the east from here. There are three places directly in front and west, roughly the same distance apart."
Liu Jiye frowned slightly and said: "Today's siege by the troops outside the city is very different from the past. In the past, although they had sophisticated siege equipment, they could not use it properly. Now...it seems that the commander has changed, and they are attacking our city defenders."
It seems like I know the Dharma like the back of my hand..."
He pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Continue to listen. Send orders to everyone. Wherever you find the excavation, prepare firewood mixed with arsenic, wolf dung, and gunpowder, in case the enemy digs into the city and blows the wind to drive away the enemy. At the same time,
Prepare fire oil, iron and hammer wood, and destroy the empty shed of the first car digging in the ground outside the city."
"Yes!" Liu Yanlang responded and left.
"Boom!" There was a violent roar from the roof of the front car. The soldiers who were digging the tunnel looked up. The roof of the car with five layers of reinforcement and shock absorption vibrated. The brackets let out several screams.
Lived.
Ke Zhen'e yelled: "Ignore him and keep digging!"
He grabbed a sharp short shovel, rushed forward, moved the shovel like flying under the city wall that had broken the foundation, and threw a shovelful of soil behind him.
"Boom!" There was another loud noise from the roof of the car. Seeing a stone as big as a millstone rolling down from the roof, someone shouted: "Master Tuanlian, the roof of the car is on fire."
"Ignore it, dig, keep digging!"
Ke Zhen'e's eyes turned red. He had dug seven or eight feet deep under the city wall. Every time he took a step forward, strong logs were used to prop up the two sides to prevent the city wall from collapsing.
"Boom!" Another boulder hit, and a big hole was broken on the roof of the front car, and the strong support was already a little loose.
"Master Tuanlian, leave quickly, the roof of the car is broken."
Ke Zhen'e ignored him and continued digging forward through gritted teeth.
A bucket of strong fire oil was poured down from the hole, and a fire broke out. Fortunately, the soldiers under the car were already prepared and had avoided it.
"Master Tuanlian, if we don't leave, the car will collapse."
The two soldiers couldn't help but rush into the cave and drag Ke Zhen'e out.
"Fill it with wood, fill it with wood, fill it with oil!"
Ke Zhene said fiercely, and several soldiers put the bundles of firewood that had been prepared, burned them with strong kerosene and stuffed them into the hole. Ke Zhene lit a firewood and threw it into the cave, then grabbed the big shield.
, shouted: "Withdraw!"
The cave behind him was spitting out blazing tongues of fire. Ke Zhen'e led the people to cut the hook between the leading car and the false shed, and quickly retreated backwards using the false shed as a cover.
"boom!"
The ground was originally moist and the fire was baking it, causing the city wall to begin to swell. When the support logs underneath burned, the loose earth and stone structure of the city wall could not bear its own weight and collapsed suddenly. Although the cave was dug
It was not deep enough or wide enough. This part of the city wall only collapsed three feet, and the upper part of the dungeon was not greatly affected. However, the saucer wall, parapet, arrow stacks, and bunkers in the collapsed part were all destroyed, especially the city wall.
The soldiers at Shangguan were greatly affected, and some people shouted in horror: "The city is broken, the city is broken, run away..."
The person shouting was a local soldier from Yinzhou. He stood up from the collapsed city wall. He couldn't figure out the situation for a moment. He just thought that the entire city wall had fallen. He was shouting in horror, and a sharp steel knife flashed from his neck.
Suddenly, a head flew away from his shoulder.
A Khitan military attaché with a fierce look on his face shouted fiercely: "Anyone who disrupts the morale of our army will be killed! What are you looking at? Defend the city, defend the city! They can't rush in!"
The Khitan troops lacked sophisticated siege equipment, so they could only use simple ladders and human sea tactics to fight hard against the city defenders. The main attack direction was at the city gate. The urn outside the city had been breached, and the door-ramming truck carried a huge round
The wood, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" hit the main city gate one after another, and with every hit, soldiers fell under the arrows.
At this time, the most valuable thing is human life. No one cares about their life or death. Everyone is red-eyed. Even if the soldier who fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow is not dead, no one can help him. He just
I was able to crawl to the back line alone and watch my companions push the door-ramming cart and use all their strength to crash into the seemingly impenetrable city gate.
"boom!"
A big hole was finally opened in the city gate, sawdust flew everywhere, and people cheered: "Kill, kill!"
The Khitan soldiers were all red-eyed. The giant siege wood was pulled back by the siege soldiers who suddenly had magical power. They quickly changed their direction and carried out the final destruction of the other half of the crumbling city gate. The soldiers at the rear had already climbed onto their horses excitedly.
, ready to charge.
This battle was really a wasteful one. They were originally the most adept at attacking warriors, and they were invincible when charging into battle. However, they had not had many experiences fighting like this against enemies who were hiding behind urns, towers, and parapets and firing cold arrows.
, the pent-up anger finally found a channel to vent.
"Boom~~~"
The remaining half of the city gate was knocked open, and the surviving soldiers overturned the entire ramming car to the side of the road with joy. The sound of horse hooves rumbled from behind, and the large group of cavalry flew past them like a whirlwind.
Passed by, a pair of bright steel knives were raised high in the air...
Yinzhou City is broken!
The Khitan cavalry who rushed into the city held up the sharp steel swords in their hands... They were stunned. There were about 800 people who rushed in, completely occupying a large semicircular open space in the city. There was not even a single defender inside.
, another city gate actually appeared in front of them, blocking their way forward. It was an urn city, a moving urn city, an inner city urn city. The urn city slowly pushed forward until the left and right sides were tightly connected with the city wall.
Together, they stopped moving forward.
Wengcheng, please enter the urn.
On the three city walls, countless archers stood up, arrows raining down...
Hundreds of knights who rushed into the city crowded the entire Wengcheng. They were rushing in from outside. The knights who were preparing to follow the front army into Yinzhou City were blocked outside the city gate. The dense people and horses were so crowded that they could not advance or retreat in front.
, the people behind were still swarming in unknowingly, and the soldiers who were pushed near the city gate were shouting, but no one listened to what they said.
At this time, large wooden barrels were smashed down from the top of the city. The lids of the barrels had been opened. The barrels were rolling in the air, splashing black and viscous liquid. In the West, this liquid was called "devil"
of sweat..."
Looking up at the large wooden barrels thrown from the tower, the Khitan knights opened their eyes wide in horror. They saw torches thrown down behind the barrels...
Many knights were covered in devil's sweat and braved the flames of hell. Their faces were twisted in horror in the flames, and they rushed back to their camp with inhuman screams. Their ferocious looks and shrill screams were frightening.
…
The city gate was blocked by a knife cart. In front of the knife cart were countless human corpses and horse corpses. The ones below were all burnt to a crisp. The ones above were thrown out of the city. Their bodies were covered with arrows.
The shot hurts people as if they were stabbed. Behind the knife cart is a wall built up to the top with stones and sandbags.
The corpses were thrown down from the city, which was a kind of threat. The arrows on the corpses were not removed, which clearly showed to the outside the city that the defenders were well-armed. Yelu Xiezhen stood on the watchtower and looked at the piles of corpses.
His face was like a carving on a rock. Even if millions of people died in front of him, he would still remain unmoved.
Like Brother Yelvxiu, he was also a general who began to be used in important roles after the current sage Yelvxian succeeded to the throne. His reputation was not obvious before. Although Brother Yelvxiu's reputation had not yet spread to the world at this time, this man who later became the leader of the Gaoliang River
The famous general Yelu Xiezhen, who had defeated the Song army in the Battle of Yanyun and captured Yang Jiye alive in an ambush in Shuozhou, was not famous for his military exploits at this time.
He had great military exploits throughout his life, but what he was good at was field warfare. His outstanding military exploits all took place in the Khitan territory. They were all during the Northern Expedition of the Song Army to the Khitan, when he led the troops to counterattack, and Fang showed his strength and repeatedly built strange attacks. For
Although he has dabbled in city offense and defense, he is not good at it. He has never worked hard to study it seriously before. At this time, the situation at home and abroad in Khitan has rarely encountered examples of city offense and defense. If he focuses on studying city offense and defense, he can use it.
There are too few opportunities, so it becomes a dragon-slaying technique, so this tactic has never been valued by the Khitan generals. But this time he besieged Yinzhou, he finally knew how helpless he was when facing a fortified city with only skilled soldiers.
.
With a slight sigh, Yelu Xiezhen turned to his left and right and said: "The grasslands of our northern country are thousands of miles away, and the tribes and tribes migrate nomadically to make a living. The people are born on horses, and they are better at riding horses. They are good at field battles but not good at attacking fortresses. They are enemies in the plains, roaring to them.
, go as freely as flying, relying only on a bow and a horse, so it is difficult for anyone to match me. The southerners live in the city, make a living by farming, and rely on high cities and thick walls to keep the enemy away. When it comes to offensive and defensive equipment, we
Our weapons are not only simple and crude, but they are always used at the wrong time and in the wrong way. Even though we have elite soldiers, it is difficult to show our strengths. This is our shortcoming.
King Qing has now built the Yinzhou city to be weatherproof, which is definitely not his strength. Presumably, when King Qing won Yinzhou, he also recruited some generals who were good at defending the city, and he relied on these generals to be so majestic.
The southerners' tactics of attacking and defending the city are truly remarkable. You should watch them carefully and study them carefully. It may be of great use in the future."
When all the generals heard about it, they all said "Hey."
Yang Hao is also paying attention to learning the command skills of Zhe Weizheng and Zhe Ziwei. Zhe Weizheng doesn't mind being seen by him in his use and command of equipment and tactics, and Yang Hao doesn't mind exposing his sophisticated siege equipment to the Khitan people.
In front of us, these things are easy to be imitated. In history, the Liao and Jin Dynasties fully mastered these advanced weapons created by the Han people after a few battles. In addition to using bloody lessons on the battlefield, they quickly learned
Learn this knowledge, and you can also master it from prisoners. You want to keep it secret unless you never use it. The tools of war are constantly improving, and the art of command is also constantly perfected. The key to victory is to use it wisely and with one heart.
The city wall where Yang Hao's army was mainly attacking has collapsed in three places. The damage was not very serious, but the solidity of the city wall has been greatly damaged. Zhe Weizheng and Zhe Ziyu hurriedly discussed a few words, immediately called for gold and retreated their troops, stopped the attack, and mobilized again.
The trebuchets were bombarding the city head in order to expand the results of the battle. At the same time, the psychological warfare proposed by Yang Hao was coming to an end. Many kites rose from the top, scattering many leaflets written in Khitan and Chinese.
Go to the city.
"Brother, brother, some people who escaped from Xicheng have been captured by us..."
Scimitar Xiaoliu rode up, shouting excitedly from afar.
Yang Hao was overjoyed. He looked back and said to Zhe Ziyu: "The Fifth Young Master's plan to besiege the city is really clever. If the net is wide open, some people will have illusions."
Zhe Ziyu was praised by him in public, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but his face remained unmoved. He only coughed slightly and said reservedly: "I only expected to gather heavy troops to attack on three sides. As soon as the city guard is in danger, there will be someone in the city plotting something."
Escape. King Qing defends the city and mobilizes elite troops to fight. The only ones guarding the west city that we abandoned are the old, weak and remnants of the army.
Most of the people who can follow King Qing here are elite soldiers, and those guarding the West City must be local veterans with little battle experience. If the wealthy gentry and merchants in the city want to escape the siege, they will most likely pay huge sums of money to bribe them to let them go.
If you escape from a few houses, as long as the person who benefited doesn't talk about it, others won't know. Those guards are so blind that they may not dare to take this risk. But I didn't expect that someone would consider escaping so soon. It seems
Prince Qing is not very popular in Yinzhou. Taiwei, we might be able to get some useful information from them."
Yang Hao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, what Fifth Young Master said is reasonable. Xiaoliu, where are those people?"
Scimitar Xiaoliu said: "Tie Niu is heading here with the people escorted. They will be there soon."
Yang Hao couldn't wait to say: "Let's go up and have a look."
Yang Hao, Zhe Ziyu, Zhe Weizheng, Mu En and others galloped on horseback. From a distance, they saw Tieniu leading a group of soldiers walking towards them. Looking at the clothes of those people, they were not army sergeants. Yang Hao galloped up his horse.
, should go forward first. Seeing Yang Hao from afar, Tieniu shouted loudly: "Brother, a total of five families and seventy-three people escaped in the city, and they were all captured by the brothers."
Yang Hao reined in his horse and looked at those people. As soon as he heard that this person was the commander-in-chief of the army, the men, women, old and children rushed forward, knelt down one after another, kowtowed and begged: "Captain, please have mercy.
Taiwei, please spare your life. We are all good people in the city, and we are not a party of King Qing of Khitan. Your Majesty Taiwei knows this for sure..."
These people all rushed forward to beg for their lives, but there was a woman among them who ducked backwards, hesitantly trying to get behind others. This behavior immediately aroused Yang Hao's alert. Everyone knelt down, and that woman
The woman was stunned for a moment. Although she reacted very quickly and immediately knelt down, Yang Hao had already seen her clearly.
Yang Hao was suddenly shocked: "It's her? How could it be her?"
Yang Hao did not see a group of people kowtowing and begging for mercy at the horse's feet. He reined in the horse and made a half circle. Suddenly, he pointed his whip at the woman who was kneeling at the end of the crowd and lowered her head tightly, and said in a deep voice:
"You, come closer!"
Jun County, Yuetai, Yellow River embankment.
Li Yu carried a sandbag and climbed up the embankment out of breath. He threw the sandbag on the ground and sat down on the ground. His eyes were black and his heartbeat was like a drum. He was really exhausted. He had worked so hard in his whole life.
He didn't have as much work as he did in the past few days. He usually only used it to touch the beauty's skin. Only the hands he used to grind ink and pick up pens were now full of blisters. He used to need the driest and softest brocade to fall asleep, but now he has a
If you fall on the wet mud floor, you will be roaring like a dead pig in a short time.
However, he had nothing to say. Zhao Guangyi was striding past him, holding three sandbags in each hand, walking as fast as flying, as if he always had endless strength. The current Emperor of the Song Dynasty could stand on the embankment himself.
On the way up, risking being swept away by the flood at any time to protect the carry, even if everyone else is exhausted, who can complain?
"Crack!"
Zhou Zhou Baoquan, the former leader of Jinghu Kingdom, slipped and stumbled onto the embankment as a dog eating shit. He struggled to get up, dragged the sandbags up the embankment step by step, and then leaned against Li Yu, breathing heavily. His
The robe was wrinkled and covered with mud. No one would believe that this was the former Lord of Jing Lake and now the commander-in-chief of Youyu Lin, Zhou Baoquan.
The two former emperors looked at each other and smiled bitterly. At this moment, there was a roar like a tsunami from the embankment. The two exhausted and weak scholars jumped up like rabbits with arrows, and said in silence: "
What happened? Did you break up? Did you break up?"
Their cries were completely suppressed by the cheers. The embankment was full of cheering soldiers and civilians. The newly repaired river embankment stood. The rolling flood flowed tamely in the river. The sky had cleared. Zhao Guangyi stood on the height of the embankment.
, with tears in his eyes.
The embankment has protected it, otherwise he, the emperor who just ascended the throne, would have to issue a "sinful edict" to the people of the world even if he left millions of people in Kaifeng to escape. If combined with that vague rumor, his throne would be
The situation was in danger, but now... we have finally overcome this difficulty, and it is a blessing in disguise. This heroic act of sacrificing one's life to protect the embankment will surely go down in history and win the hearts of countless people.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Suddenly, someone took the lead and shouted loudly. Everyone fell to the ground and shouted loudly to Zhao Guangyi who was standing there.
Zhao Guangyi said loudly and excitedly: "I have hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers in Tokyo and live in millions of homes. I am the center of the world and the most important thing. To protect Tokyo, I don't regret this life. Fortunately, all the soldiers and civilians work together, and God also protects me."
, we have overcome this difficulty!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Even higher cheers sounded.
Zhao Guangyi's face was flushed, and he pressed his hands downwards. He did this several times before the cheers gradually stopped.
At this time, Zhao Guangmei led several Kaifeng Prefecture officials and escorted a tied-up man to him, and loudly reported: "The official, Jun County Magistrate Kan Sandao has been arrested by our Kaifeng Prefecture."
Murong Qiu stood up drunk and said: "Kan Sandao was an official of the imperial court. He was timid in the face of danger. He took his family and fled alone. He ignored tens of thousands of people in Junxian County and millions of people in Kaifeng.
He ignored the safety of his family and his crime was extremely heinous, so he should be punished with death. I ask the officials to issue an order to put Kan Sandao to death in order to rectify the law of the country."
"Kan Sandao? He is Kan Sandao!"
"Kill him, kill him, cut him into pieces and throw him into the Yellow River!"
"His entire family should be beheaded as a warning to all officials in the world."
"Son of a bitch!"
The people who were close to Zhao Guangyi were all officials of the fourth rank and above in the imperial court. The man who just cursed in such an angry manner was also a high official and a member of the Imperial Academy. He was so excited. If this bastard Kan Sandao hadn't run away with his wife and children, he would have been lost.
If the lower section of the river is left alone, how can the officials summon the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to coexist with the embankment?
With the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of troops, local people, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the flood situation finally passed. However, they suffered so much and suffered so much in fear these past few days. All the anger was concentrated on Kan Sandao.
On the body, the subjects and the people unanimously demanded that Kan Sandao be executed, and many ministers were moved to tears.
Zhao Guangyi looked at Kan Sandao coldly. Magistrate Kan's face was ashen as he listened to the flood of curses, and his legs were trembling as if they were swinging: "I'm confused, I'm so confused, the world is so big, where can I escape to?"
, why was it that when I saw the raging flood, I was so obsessed that I just wanted to escape? If I really wanted to stay on the embankment, I would be a loyal minister even if I died, but now... Now I am afraid that I will die without a burial place, and I will leave behind it for eternity.
infamy."
Zhao Guangyi suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled out the sharp sword from the waist of Dai Xing, the Duyuhou in front of the palace, and walked towards Kan Sandao step by step. Kan Sandao trembled, suddenly broke away from the Yamen's hand, grabbed his head and knelt on the ground, touching his forehead.
On the ground, I leaned my neck to die, and never dared to raise my face to take a look.
All the soldiers and civilians watched with bated breath. Once upon a time, there was a flood in a state capital due to the failure of the chief official to prevent floods. At that time, when the late emperor Zhao Kuangyin was in power, because the state official was the brother of the Empress Dowager Du, the current uncle was finally spared from death.
, dismissed from office to serve the people, but the deputy chief official, Lord Tongjian, was beheaded in the street, and his body was thrown into the flood to serve as a warning.
Nowadays, the county that Kan Sandao guards is many times more important than the place where the flood occurred. He abandoned his post and ran away again, which is an additional crime. The people, the people, the civil and military officials of the dynasty all hated him to the core, and he also
What ending can be obtained?
Li Yu and Zhou Baoquan stood there side by side, watching eagerly when they saw Zhao Guangyi striding up to the kneeling Magistrate Kan and asked in a cold voice: "Kan Sandao, do you know your guilt?"
"My lord... his crime deserves death!"
Kan Sandao put his hands behind his back, touched his forehead to the ground, and hit it three times, making a "dong-dong" sound: "Please give me death!"
"Okay, okay, okay, just admit your guilt!" Zhao Guangyi looked up to the sky and laughed three times, swung his sword in his hand, and slashed down.
Such a sharp sword, with a "swish", it cut off the rope that tightly bound Magistrate Kan's hands. Once the rope was broken, Kan Sandao's arm loosened, and his body stiffened for a while. After a long while, he hesitated to move his hands.
He slowly moved forward, raised his head tremblingly, looked at his hands, and then raised his face to look at Zhao Guangyi in astonishment.
Zhao Guangyi threw the sword back to Dai Xing and said: "Everyone is afraid of death. But death is by no means the most terrifying thing in the world. As a scholar, you should know etiquette, justice, integrity, loyalty, filial piety and justice. Since you are a pastor,
You should treat the people as your own and love them with all your heart. Kan Sandao, you saw the flood and thought the dam was undefendable. But at the critical moment, you still knew how to return home and picked up your parents, wife and children to escape with you. It shows that you
Although you are afraid of death, the weight of death in your heart is still not as important as that of your parents, wife and children. I will not punish you this time, nor will I remove you from office. I only hope that you can take this matter as a lesson and treat your parents as
Your filial piety and love for your wife and children should be shown to the court and the people under your rule."
Kan Sandao was shocked: "The officials..."
Zhao Guangyi said: "You are still the county magistrate of Junxian County. Although the dikes are still in place, they are only emergency structures. How to repair the dikes and maintain peace forever? You must perform your duties and treat them with care."
Kan Sandao, who had narrowly escaped death, did not expect that the emperor would be so magnanimous. He burst into tears of gratitude, fell to the ground, kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and cried loudly: "The official family and the humble ministers will immediately move their families to live on the embankment. If the river embankment is not repaired,
To ensure the safety of the people in this area, I will never leave this embankment. When I am alive, I will leave my land on this embankment. When I die, I will bury my bones on this embankment. I will be a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty and a loyal minister of Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty used your supreme body to protect the embankments of all people, which is an act of great justice. He who generously punished the sins of his ministers is an act of great benevolence. The wise kings of ancient times, the three emperors and the five emperors, were nothing more than this. We, the Song Dynasty, are so lucky, so lucky."
Lu Duoxun spread his hands, raised his arms and shouted, and the crowd responded with a sound that silenced the night sky.
Zhao Guangyi smiled faintly, turned around and said, "Go back to the city!"
Murong Qiuzui followed Zhao Guangyi closely. Zhao Guangyi strode like flying with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth: "He wants to be a loyal minister, how can I not fulfill him, a loyal minister who almost put me to death!"
"
Murong Qiu understood the idea and said hurriedly: "I understand that in three to five months, I... I will let him die in a glorious manner and set an example for a loyal minister who was inspired by the officials and repented."
Zhao Guangyi led hundreds of civil and military officials back to Bianliang City. The return to the city was very lively. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty with official positions above the fourth rank were all dragged up the river embankment to live and die together. Their families
Everyone was worried, but now they finally came back. All the officials, their families, and the gentry and celebrities from Hecheng came to greet him outside the west gate. There were no less than 100,000 people in attendance.
As soon as Zhao Guangyi arrived, cheers and shouts of long live broke into the night, and many people rushed forward, looking for their relatives in the crowd. As soon as they found their relatives, the family hugged each other and cried with joy. Zhao Guangyi
Sitting on the chariot, listening to the roar of the mountains, I realized for the first time the supreme glory of the emperor in addition to the supreme rights.
Now that you have all the power and glory, this kind of life should be complete, right? Hmm..., no, no, no, there is still a little more to be done, there is still the northwest, there is Youyun, there are still some great achievements to open up the territory, wait for it
After I collect all the northwest territories and recapture the Sixteen Provinces of Youyun, I will be the emperor of the ages, and my achievements will be as great as those of the Han and Tang Dynasties, hehehehe...
Zhao Guangyi smiled and asked people to roll up the curtains, and waved to the gentry and common people who were shouting to worship. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw an unforgettable flower-like jade face in the crowd. When he took a closer look, it was
A stunning beauty, who is more fragrant than jade and understands words better than flowers, is holding Li Yu's hand, whispering...
Zhao Guangyi's heart suddenly became hot: Should the Lord of the world also have an unparalleled beauty by his side?
"Wang Jien!"
"I'm here!"
Wang Jien was released as the governor of Hebei Province, and the edict of the interviewer of Hebei West Province has been issued, so he now wants to call himself a minister, and can no longer call himself a slave. The ministers next to him were greeted by their relatives, and as soon as those ministers arrived at the city gate, they
They all took the initiative to walk to the side, looking for their family members. Wang Jien had no family members in Beijing, so although he was dressed as a foreign official, he still followed his old habit, hunched over, and followed Zhao Guangyi step by step.
The deputy minister, when Zhao Guangyi called, he immediately stepped forward and agreed, but he changed his word "Chen" quickly enough.
"Jien, when is the day this month that the family members of the court officials can meet the queen?"
Wang Jien made some calculations and replied: "It should be the day after tomorrow when I return to the official family. What about the official family...?"
"oh……"
Luan Jia walked forward, and the unforgettable figures were no longer visible. All he could see were the smiling faces and waving arms of the gentry all over the city. Zhao Guangyi smiled blankly and said: "This time, all the people are here."
The civil and military officials of the imperial court followed me up the embankment to fight the flood. The officials and their families were frightened in the city and suffered a lot. This time when the officials and their families came to see the empress, I also went to see them and commended them as a token of comfort..."
